Sorry, Office fans!

Ricky Gervais will reportedly not be making a guest appearance on the show’s series finale. He’s just too busy working on the upcoming Muppets movie!

As if that wasn't bad enough, Steve Carrell, who brought the HIGHlarious and annoying Michael Scott to life, won’t be returning either!

This just adds to our anxiety over the show's nearing end — the hour-long final airs on May 16th — but at least we have Ricky's David Brent Comic Relief video to temporarily brighten things up.

The TIME 100 Gala, celebrating TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, was host to a myriad of celebs last night.

The “influential” bunch arrived at the Lincoln Center donning some of their best and worst dresses, strutting down the red carpet before heading inside.

Guests included Lena Dunham, Claire Danes, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Olivia Munn and many more.

Of course, power couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel attended too!

Ch-ch-check out the photos (below) and see if you can pick out your favorite outfit of the night!

ZOMG! We can't believe it's been 10 years!!!

Back before a wonderfully incompetent Steve Carell made blundering middle management fun, Ricky Gervais was pioneering the whole faux documentary TV trend in Britain with his O.G. version of The Office!

And now, a decade after the show ended it's run, the darling doofus David Brent returns to us for to us for one final encore!!

Ch-ch-check out his charming and charitable Red Nose Day comedy special The Return of Brent (above)!

Ha! He was brilliant as an office manager, but we like him even more managing mismanaging rappers, LOLz!!

More importantly, Ricky and the head-shaving Jessie J (and so many others) raised tons of cash for charity! Over 100 million dollars so far!!

Did the vid tickle your funny bone? You can still donate HERE!

Aww! It warms our heart when celebz go above and beyond the call of duty!

Tomorrow is Red Nose Day, an unofficial holiday where celebz do wacky stuff to raise money for a variety of noble causes!

For Rick Gervais, RND means revisiting The Office with HIGHlarious results!

For Jessie J? Well, her task is slightly less funny!

The Nobody's Perfect singer vowed to

The character that started it all — The Office and the fake interview concept for TV sitcoms — is coming back!! Ricky Gervais is bringing back David Brent for the Comic Relief fundraiser!

Red Nose Day on March 15 will be a day to mark on your calendars (as it should usually be!), as Ricky will be having David find a new career as a talent manager in the music industry, who then tries to help urban solo artist Dom Johnson get his big break. LOLz!

Here's what Ricky said:

Oh man we feel like we're watching an episode of Extras! Supremely awkward with a delicious dollop of sarcasm.

We are SO incredibly souped for the inevitably heart-warming and funny follow up film to Jason Segel's The Muppets, and in the flick's FIRST teaser, Pepe the King Prawn tries to acquaint himself with the sequel's main baddy, Ricky Gervais…

…and obviously, HIGHlarity ensues!

Ch-ch-check out this cringe-worthy first look at The Muppets… Again! (above)!

We are VERY intrigued as to how Ricky's signature style of comedy will mesh with those wild and wacky Muppets…

We're thinking they'll go together like Nutella and everything ever!

It's not easy being green… or an international Muppet-musical sensation coveted by an evil mastermind!

The first two promotional pics for the HIGLY anticipated Muppets sequel have arrived, featuring our favorite furry friends AND the HIGHlarious Ricky Gervais — one of the three human leads of the film — getting up to all sorts of cheeky mischief in the London Underground (above)!

But wait! There is SO much more Muppet-themed goodness in store…

Cause the people behind the flick have released the official plot synopsis to Muppets… Again!

The description goes as follows:
